The Adoptions Team work closely with the wider volunteer team, and in particular Rabbit Coordinators, to gain insight and knowledge about the rabbits available for adoption to enable us to match rabbits to the home that best meets their individual needs. The immediate team works as a close unit, communicating daily with regards to a range of topics, e.g. interest in available rabbits, health and/or behavioural issues of individual rabbits, managing waiting lists, etc in order that all aspects of the adoption process are managed efficiently.

Applicants need excellent communication skills and good attention to detail to guide members of the public in adhering to rabbit welfare standards and manage their expectations of rabbits as family pets. Post-adoption support is often required, predominantly for bonding but could include any issue the adopter requires advice on.

For both application and aftercare enquiries, standard responses can be used in the majority of cases, and advice can always be sought from the Adoptions Team for more complicated issues. Providing quality service from the beginning to end of the adoption journey is essential to ensure the rabbits and their new owners are confident and happy together in the forever home.

This is a varied and exciting role, which provides daily challenges along with the opportunity to understand fully the role Adoptions volunteers play in the journey of rabbits who enter the rescue before they move on to their forever home.
